Which do you prefer? Why?

I’ll be honest, I prefer dpads, they are more compact, more tactile and more precise. If I could I’d not use an analog stick in smash bros and just use dpad.

    @AdellcomdoisL @overload there are plenty of top players using gamepads in the fighting game community these days. As it transitioned online and arcades sort of disappeared entirely there is less bias toward fightsticks emulating the arcade cabinet experience. Not to say they aren’t still the popular choice but gamepads aren’t considered garbage like they were.

      Yeah I play fighting games on both an 8bitdo fight stick and a PS4 d-pad. I’m still not sure which I prefer. Fight stick feels more accurate but I can react much faster with a d-pad.

      I’m still not very good at these games though, so I can’t speak for people at a high level!
